Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have noticed in the past month after going to the bathroom (#2) that my rectum is bulging outward. I have no pain, blood , etc. When I get into the shower I can bend over and use finger to push it back. I am a 44 yr male, not gay, never had anal sex. Should consult my physician and what is this?
I suggest to consult a proctologist to determine the right diagnosis and to start treatment as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, I advise to :
- avoid constipation - drink more water - eat foods high in fiber - do not strain too hard and too long while passing the motion - do not keep breathe when passing the stool
Hope it helped! Dr.Klerida

Why Does My Rectum Bulge Outward Unceremoniously?
Hi, The bulging rectum could be because of: - hemorrhoids - prolapse of rectum. I suggest to consult a proctologist to determine the right diagnosis and to start treatment as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I advise to : - avoid constipation - drink more water - eat foods high in fiber - do not strain too hard and too long while passing the motion - do not keep breathe when passing the stool Hope it helped!
